NURSERY-CHAIR.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 284,671, dated September11, 1883. Application filed May 15, 1883. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMMA T. REED, a citizen of the United States,residing at Victoria,

in the county of Victoria and State of Texas, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Childrens Chairs; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in childrens chairs, and has forits object to secure a child in its seat and prevent its falling out orupsetting the chair. The objects are attained by the mechanismillustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a chair suppliedwith myattachment. Fig. 2 isa plan of the attachment. Fig. 3 is a viewof the under side thereof.

The letter A indicates a piece of board of suitable dimensions,having arecess cut out on A one side, and thus leaving an opening of sufficientsize to admit of its partly surrounding the body of the child. opening,and near the edge thereof, is a row of holes, a, for the purpose offastening the bib B by lacing to the board A, as thismethod of fasteningpermits the ready removal of thebib, when desired, for washing or otherpurposes.

On a line with this The bib has abelt, C, which buttons around the waistof the child, and has also a collar, D, which is fastened around theneck. The bib may be made of oilcloth or other suitable material. Loopsa are attached to the under side of the board and pass through holes inthe arms of the chair, and bolts or suitable hooks engage therein, andin this manner the board and the chair are fastened to each other.

The outer edge of the board may be supported by any suitable means, suchas a small table or chair, or a single leg attached thereto.

A child four months old and upward may be left in a chair provided withthis attachment 5 in perfect security, as there is nothing against whichthe child may push with its feet and turn-itself over.

Having described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patentand to claim The board A, recessed as described, and providedwith meansfor attaching it to an infants chair, in combination with the bib B,fixed to the board A, as and for the purpose set forth. p

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EMMA T. REED.
